Only ONE of the top 10 occupations for Hispanic workers was family sustaining
Only TWO for Black and multi-racial workers
SEVEN for Asian and white workers

While just over half of MN's 2.8 million workers are paid at least a family sustaining wage, Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous Minnesotans are the least likely to be paid one.

To our non-Indigenous allies, ask yourself, ask your local municipalities, your universities, your churches, your parents, grandparents, and every person in your circle of influence: “But are you giving Land Back?”

An inclusive regional economy would compensate workers adequately for their time and enable workers of all races and ethnicities to access highly paid professions, resulting in equitable average wages across racial and ethnic groups. #InclusiveEconomy #RacialEquity

While women of color face unique barriers in the workforce, resulting in lower pay and fewer opportunities for career advancement, today we celebrate hope and perseverance of women who have faced discrimination head-on. Happy International Women's Day. 2/2

Today, we celebrate the incredible strength and resilience in Black, Indigenous, Latine, and Asian women who have faced economic injustice. We know racism that is baked into our policies and practices not only hurts individuals, it hinders overall economic growth. 1/2
